If we sign Mathieu, I don't feel as bad about our CBs. If we sign Edmunds we need to improve our CB position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The #1 guy on my wish list going into this draft tbh, is Nakobe Dean If Dean is more Roquan than Devin Bush I'm for it. Those little(r) guys kind of worry me. I like the 2-3 round ILBs from UGA a lot. Quay Walker and that other one. I can't remember his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have Mathieu, no doubt, but I don't think we'll find any better options than Edmunds after him. Even in the draft. I like the kid from Michigan, but safety sometimes takes awhile to develop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this draft, I want someone that makes us better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I agree but, I guess if it's Edmunds we can take solice in him knowing the defense as long as we add to CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 11 minutes ago, MOSteelers56 said: His size screams slot guy, but his game isn't anywhere near that. He's an X guy all the way. Unless I have the X's, Y's, and Z's mixed up. He plays well as the outside guy off the LOS so he can use his quicks to beat the press. He's not nearly tough enough to be a slot guy. He panics around the trees inside. He’s a slot guy where having an inside TE like Muth is helpful. Like if we had a Dodson, I would line up Dodson and Juju outside, DJ on the slot on Dodson’s side with Muth inline on that same side, Juju alone. Or put DJ in the slot on Juju’s side. Dodson runs a deep post or flag or fly; Muth runs the shallow in, Juju the deep in, and DJ runs a slant out or slant post. Of course that means a schemed WR set and we don’t do those.

More so than Bush. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 DJ is an X receiver who I think could excel in the slot. But his ability to run a full route tree and, more specifically, win on his own is a big reason why he gets stuck there with our receivers. I would love someone like Dotson/Skyy Moore that I think could help make him a moveable piece, though. But JuJu and Claypool can't win single side consistently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigben07MVP Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I’m torn on this. I would love Haden back on a cheap deal but we essentially gave up 2 5ths for Witherspoon (trade and comp) and he’s way younger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August4th Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I hope they do something with the RB room. don't necessarily have to sign a vet or use another mid-rd pick, but at least be really active during preseason by looking for backs who have been cut or are on the practice squad... their has be something out there that's better than Snell/McFarland.

I wouldnt say Id LOVE to have Haden back, but I kind of expected it might happen. On a cheap one year deal, I dont really mind....but we still are going to have to draft a corner early. I just read somewhere that all the Steelers current corners ran pretty slow 40s. They said Wallace ran a 4.64 or something. Not that 40s mean everything, and Wallace has been good, but we may struggle even more with deep passes, especially if Wallace is our fastest starting corner. We know Joe Haden struggles with go routes. As for Witherspoon.....expected. More absolutely gross mismanagement of our secondary by Colbert and Tomlin. Trade two 5th rounders for a 9 game rental. ******* embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping they sign someone in training camp. I doubt they sign anyone before the draft, and I dont necessarily blame them. They could potentially draft a late rounder. Snell and McFarland have both worn out their welcome. Snell is as blah as they get, and McFarland has shown nothing since he has been here. Time to move on....but I doubt we do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
